Sharks are one of the most incredible creatures of the world. They are a perfect machine, but sometimes they are also pose grave dangers for humans. They are not used to coming near scuba divers, and they often go away, perhaps disturbed by the noise of the bubbles. The shark in the picture was not longer than two meters, and the picture was taken in the water of Walindi in Papua New Guinea.
